Farmer CUTIS woke up early with a cheerful smile, excited for another busy day on the family farm. The cool morning breeze carried the fresh scent of the garden, where rows of healthy potato plants were ready for harvest. Grabbing a small basket and a tiny shovel, CUTIS hurried to the field, eager to see what treasures were hiding beneath the soil.
With careful hands, CUTIS loosened the earth and pulled up the first potato. It was round, golden, and much bigger than expected! Laughing with delight, CUTIS continued digging until the basket was filled with fresh potatoes of every shape and size. Proud of the successful harvest, CUTIS thanked the garden for providing such delicious food.
Back at the farmyard, CUTIS washed the potatoes until they sparkled clean. Dad helped gather dry firewood while Mom prepared a safe little roasting pit. Soon, the warm fire crackled gently, and the potatoes were placed among the glowing coals. As they roasted, their wonderful aroma drifted across the farm, making everyone hungry.
The delicious smell reached a friendly goat grazing nearby. Curious, the goat slowly wandered over, sniffing the air with excitement. CUTIS laughed when the goat gave a soft “baa,” as if asking, “May I join the meal?”
“Of course!” CUTIS happily replied.
After the potatoes finished roasting, CUTIS carefully peeled one open. Warm steam floated into the air, revealing the soft, fluffy inside. CUTIS let the potatoes cool before sharing a small, safe piece with the goat. The goat happily nibbled the treat and wagged its tail with delight, making everyone burst into laughter.
The family enjoyed their roasted potatoes together while the goat stayed close, hoping for another tiny taste. CUTIS gently patted the goat’s head and reminded everyone that animals should only eat foods that are safe and given in moderation.
As the sun began to set, the farm was filled with laughter, warmth, and grateful hearts. CUTIS realized that harvesting food was even more rewarding when it could be shared with family and animal friends. It became a simple but unforgettable day, proving that kindness, hard work, and sharing can turn an ordinary harvest into a beautiful memory.
